melissa: first the stop story of the day. apple will reportedly spend a cool $3.2 billion to acquire beats electronics. it would be the priciest corporate grab in apple history. could usher in a new era that prioritizes acquisition over innovation. with me, andrew keane, keane on the market. james frischling. what do you think about this, good move if it is real? we haven't heard a official announcement. there are a lost reports out there. what do you think? >> if apple wants to do with core business. i think they should go something with users, a user base. easily bought netflix when it was $8 billion company. they want to get the streaming. depends what they're doing with the business. seems like everything they do is faster, lighter, quicker. they're not coming out with new products. they're going into market buying existing business and existing product line f they want to go to consumer goods i think it is good for them. melissa: everybody is pounding the table yelling at them, what is the next new thing?
2:02 pm
maybe they can't insnow straight? beats is pretty hot. anytime you go into store, my kids take me into, you know, whatever it is. the t-mobile, at&t and there's a beats headset. they want it. maybe this is good idea. >> i feel a little lonely out there. i liked it when i saw the announcement. melissa: i loved it. i loved it. >> i was at my 12-year-old niece's party. every girl had iphone and beats. melissa: really? >> they don't agree on everything except having iphone and beats. they are buying talent. everyone shorted beats since day it launched, not everybody. too many people were betting against it but dr. doctor beat them all. melissa: here is joined us, charlie gasparino out of thin air? >> what is beats? melissa: what do you think of poe things al deal? >> they have so much money they can do what they want. they need to put cash to work. melissa: you are one of the people pounding the table they need to innovate.
2:03 pm
this is alternative. >> one of the shows we were talking about internet bubble then and now. one of the things we forget, these companies by themselves don't really work. melissa: like beats. when you add it on to apple, think -- >> netscape, that got bought by someone. then you do have a degree of creative destruction where this makes sense. melissa: we want to hear from all of you out there. what do you think? would you wear beats by dr. dre? does it look ridiculous? that is what holds me back. tweet me at melissaafrancis. we'll look at them later in the show. snapchat turned down $3 billion from facebook. with the message don't disappear forever, looks like a multibillion dollar blunder. what do you think about this one? >> they misled. overpromised and underdeliverred. internet is permanent and out there. melissa: no matter what they say. >> it is out there. >> i don't think it will really change anything. if you look at facebook and put
2:04 pm
a profile picture and put couple hundred pictures, takes six hours if you want to delete whole profile and. did they mislead? yes, they misled. i don't think they will change. they still have active user base. someone 15 years old, oh my picture in internet somewhere in the world. their target audience and user base will not change. melissa: the whole premise -- >> they misled but still a buyout target. melissa: they turned down $3 billion. >> part of being a good businessman is knowing when to hold them and fold them. mark cuban developed something, which i don't even remember what he developed. sold it to yahoo! >> broadcom. >> what was that? okay. its with a technology that was basically obsolete within a year the but he was smart enough to sell it to become part of a bigger company. these guys screwed up. melissa: elon musk getting tough with the "show me" state with a push that missouri would be latest state to ban missouri's
2:05 pm
direct sales model. what do you think? >> market capitalization is $900,000 for every car they sold. sold 21,000 cars. they are selling directly to consumer happens to be good for them. missouri is not important as state. shows precedent if they go directly to consumer which we've seen in new york and ohio. we haven't seen in new jersey. the big thing, if get charging stations in gas stations across the united states makes it a lot more employable. melissa: a lost hurdles. >> 180 miles on the car and it is dead. what will you do? it is stranded. melissa: what do you guys think. >> the bigger news is difficulty in the battery supplies and declines in sales. states trying to keep musk out, i'm not against musk on that. >> genius. melissa: he never gives up. >> he is up against pretty powerful lobby, these dealerships. they have a lot of political stroke. i'm not crazy about battery powered cars. >> have you drove one no.

2:21 pm
not so with internet from the phone company. i would email the phone company to inquire as to why they have shortchanged these customers. but that would require wifi. switch to comcast business internet and get two wifi networks included. comcast business built for business. melissa: there is a new kind of star that has been born. youtube celebrities, they are going mainstream. i don't know if you notice, from commercials to movie december, there is major money to be made online. here now is one much youtube's most subscribed personalities, "ijustine" easy zare rick. -- ezarik. known as i "ijustine." he likes to go on line to people
2:22 pm
that do mine craft videos. i had no idea this was a huge business. you have more than three million subscribers. how do you decide what to put up and what is going to be popular? >> i think that is the hard part. with the internet you never know sometimes things will work and sometimes they won't. audiences will tell you what they like and you give them more what they like. melissa: one of our videos done very well, it was you ordering a pizza. has more than five million views. what was special about you ordering a pizza? >> you know i have no idea. i think it is, a funny video and a lot of people could relate to ordering a pizza and calling wrong number. so i think, you honestly really never know with the internet what is going to be cool what people are going to like. they're very vocal about things they don't like. melissa: i thing very surprising to people my age an older who
2:23 pm
don't know about this business how much money there is to be made. your first viral video was a 3-hundred page iphone bill. it was viewed two million times in the first 10 days. "usa today" reports thaw made $5,000 off that one. is that the right ballpark? i know you don't want to talk dollars and cents you but is that roughly correct. >> i have no idea. i usually don't keep track of that kind of stuff necessarily. it is hard, because there is different advertising that goes into youtube. they will have different ads that run. so really depends upon timing. but it's a very interesting job. what is school, a lot of hollywood right now is kind of looking to youtube. because we're able to do videos that are cost effective. the video you're watching now, iphone bill cost me nothing to make other than camera i had to film it. it is kind of crazy, there are movies that are huge budgets. we don't have those huge budgets. we have numbers. melissa: you have the numbers. qd pie.
2:24 pm
i don't know what that means. they made estimated 1.7 million to 16 million are estimates a year. they have 25 million subscribers. 3.8 billion views. there is disney collector that basically demos toys. we've seen this one at our house. they estimate that they made $10 million a year. there is another one, sky does mind craft, another one we watch, $3 million a year with 9.3 million subscribers. how does it work? you have to get really popular and invite people to subscribe? how logistically do you build the business? >> it is definitely interesting. a lot of those estimates i don't know where people are getting those numbers which is kind of interesting as well. i will read those, that is not actually 100% true. but it works as a partner program. so youtube will give you a portion of the ad revenue that you make through your videos and it is all just kind of like advertising. you have to be able to monotize your videos which is another issue too, not all of the ads that run are monetizable around the world. so you may think that, you get
2:25 pm
money for every single click and every single ad that runs but that is not how it actually works. so there is a lot that goes into it. melissa: a lot to go into it. sound like you're saying numbers we're quoting we got from a survey online are too high? that is sounds crazy to you? it is much lower than that? >> it really depends, there is not necessarily, there are things that go on. there are brand deals. other jobs people are working too. very hard to pinpoint exactly how much people make. for a lot of us, this is something that we really love to do and to be able to have a job that is so much fun and be able to entertain people and work for ourselves is awesome. so i think a lot of us are entrepreneurs. for us to be able to have this to be a career is really, really awesome. melissa: "ijustine, thanks for joining us today and sharing your secrets. we appreciate night thanks so much. melissa: big story of the day. you all know him. he is same og but is he still draw? who is dr. dre comecoming out of

today. former president of the women's media center. also back with us is andrew keen. what do you think about this? >> a president that gets up every day and says what would jimmy carter do. he installed those solar panels and the white house and ronald reagan took them out. it is fine that he is doing it. it is a distraction from the fact that he is leading letting the keystone pipeline fallaway. >> they could be paying more. >> i think it is great when you encourage the companies to do good that they start doing good. could you imagine a president holding a cell phone in his hand and saying this technology is ridiculous, i am throwing it in the trash.
